| BEIRUT |
Capital of Lebanon, destroyed and rebuild seven times.
Beirut is the gateway of Lebanon, the city that never dies and rises from its ashs like the Phoenix.
The city is dotted with numerous medieval structures, mosques and churches. Many beautiful public buildings were constructed particularly during Roman's Age: monumental archway, forum, temples, baths etc. The city has also been destroyed by several earthquakes. But despite Beirut's endurance throughout the years, its sense of commerce, trade and enterprise brought it to its feet again.
Today, restaurants specialising in Lebanese food offer a chance to sample this well known cuisine at its most authentic. A large selection of foreign restaurants serve cooking from around the world in surroundings as elegant or as cozy as you desire.
Night life in Beirut is non-stop. You can sample some of the trendiest places going or opt for super-sophisticated night-clubs. Name what you want and it is almost sure to be available in the shops and street markets of Beirut. Traditional crafts, high fashion, jewelry or everyday needs, are all easy to find. |
